Check FAQAbout Alexandre
In 2 decades as a journalist I reported from 12 countries - even from Antartica -, and worked in a wide variety of environments, dealing with different subjects and delivering news in various formats: written, radio and television. I covered Rio 2016 Olympics and Paralympics, FIFA 2014 WorldCup, but also major political events and summits, such as UN's Rio+20. I also covered Pope Francis' first international trip as pontiff, when he visited Brazil for Rio 2013 World Youth Day, and 4 million people from all over the world gathered at Copacabana beach for the main celebrations. As a senior network reporter, my current post, I do daily reports for TV Bandeirantes main evening news (Jornal da Band), daily live reports for the TV's morning show (Bora Brasil) and other network and local news. During my carreer, I worked also at the BBC World Service, in London, at CBN - Brazil's largest radio network in Rio de Janeiro, Terra Networks and Bloomberg News in São Paulo, performing a wide variety of duties: network and local reporter, international correspondent, producer, presenter, editor and chief-editor. In addition to that, I sometimes report as a freelancer to Radio New Zealand. I'm used to work with tight deadlines, real-time live reports. But I also have to do in-depth reports which require detailed newsgathering, fact checking, long interviews and creative writing.

Fugitive Phillip Smith captured in Brazil after hostel staff alert police
Phillip Smith, a fugitive from New Zealand serving a life sentence for murder and other violent crimes, was arrested in Rio de Janeiro by Brazil Federal Police after being recognized at a hostel. Initially held at Ary Franco Prison, he was transferred to Gericino Penitentiary, Brazil's largest public prison. Smith had fled New Zealand while on temporary release from Spring Hill Corrections Facility and had defrauded the public of almost $50,000, according to Inland Revenue. He was caught after a hostel staff member recognized him from a news report and alerted the police. Smith had been staying at the Cidade Maravilhosa Hostel under the alias James Paul Andrews. The investigation into his escape, including how he obtained a passport and cash, is ongoing. Smith faces charges of escaping custody, with additional charges likely upon his return to New Zealand.
